--- Comment #12 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
With a reduced palette (and picking up colors from DE theme) "monochrome" icons
are the only way we can provide support for light and dark HC themes. We can
not afford to design/deploy multiple icon sets, and would need additional logic
for the HIGH_CONTRAST_ID to pick the "best" of several icon sets for a given HC
theme.

IIRC the existing HC icon support uses a single unsupported Galaxy derived icon
set that is of marginal use and is limited to Dark HC themes.

Dynamic icon coloring, even monochromatic, would meet our needs--and seems Sifr
is the only supported icon set option we have as they were designed from the
start to be intelligible as monochromatic (mostly). 

Using Sifr and dynamically assigning it a color (likely our FACECOLOR or
DARKSHADOWCOLOR) as drawn from the os HC theme would be an efficient (and low
effort) means of providing functional HC support for a11y.
